What is the NW Cup?

100 Races. This past weekend marked 100 NW Cup races for Scott and Casey, and in turn the final round of the 2024 season. On top of it there was no more fitting location than to have it at Dry Hill in Port Angeles, WA! It has been an amazing season, and the 450 riders at the finals prove that Dry Hill is the favorite place for our family to get together and have a blast.

26 years. That is how long it has been since there was a DH race at Snoqualmie pass. 1998, and Steve Peat won his first World Cup here. Now, the NW Cup has brough racing back to the pass, and wow was it some great racing!

August brought the NW Cup family to the Idaho town of Kellogg for round 5 of the NW Cup series. After a nice break following Whitefish and Tamarack, we headed into another back-to-back week of racing. First up with Silver and some exciting weather.

The end of June continued the NW Cup road trip in Whitefish, MT for the second of our back-to-back race weekends. Normally a dry and dusty venue, Mother Nature decided to gift us some rain mid week to make the dirt AMAZING for practice and seeding through Saturday.

June brings us to the first race of the NW Cup back-to-back races out in Idaho and Montana. This past weekend the amazing resort of Tamarack host the NW Cup family with gorgeous blue skies, warm weather, and fast, rocky trails.

While Poland took its fair share of round one talent overseas, a stacked cast took to the Northwest for perfect conditions at Dry Hill Bike Park. The second round of the NW Cup in Port Angeles delivered another solid weekend of downhill racing to remember with nearly 550 in the mix overall, and it was speed and style from top to bottom.
